So, this is what has me down and burned out...

I'm prepared for the stupid people to bombard me with the "OMFG, you racist!" bullshit. Trust me, when you are a white male who doesn't kiss minorities' asses- that's common. Why do think we're so good at laughing it off?

So, hear me out on this. It's actually difficult to say this, but I'm prepared for the backlash. I've touched on this before.

I'm here in Georgia. Now, as you may know, Georgia has a shit ton of black people. There are a shit ton of black people on the base. The army doesn't discriminate, which is a good thing- so in theory, there should be a balance of people of different groups in positions of authority, who got there based on what they have done.

In theory, of course.

Recently, there has been some probing into the way things are in my unit, and other units around us (from what I understand). Anyway, there are a shit ton of black people in the positions of authority. And they have their own little way of doing things. Behold:

We've had a few drug pops. It happens, even though it shouldn't. Every white person that has popped on drugs has been booted out. The black dudes? It gets buried. How do I know? They hit the blotter, all of them. I have to enter a violation into the system that keeps them from getting a security clearance. I know who does what. It comes with my position. The same thing has happened with DUI's and domestic violence. The white and hispanic dudes are crucified, the black dudes are still around- and some popped a year ago.

A black guy of higher rank told a white girl that white women were the destruction of the black man (she is married to a black dude). Right in front of her face. Nothing happens. No apology, nothing. Why? She reported it to the Equal opportunity, and nothing happened.

In these shops, there has been a problem with black favoritism. Black NCO's get black junior soldiers rerady for promotion, send them to schools, and lift them forward. The others are neglected and denied the chance for training and help, and not given a reason- the non-black soldiers are denied, and they need a signature. When the soldier goes higher in the chain, the black NCO starts writing negative paperwork for bullshit, so he has a case to bring against the soldier as to why he was denied.

Black soldiers are walking around the barracks and pretty much bullying the younger soldiers in the barracks. basically, I have been told there are threats of violence and obscene comments toward females. When it was reported, 10 black dudes and 5 more who really weren't there (and some of them were NCO's) lied about it and made the other soldiers out to be racists, to go as far as to make up stories about all the white soldiers getting drunk and throwing beer bottles at them and calling them "n*ggers". I confirmed this after spending one Friday night at the barracks to witness the behavior.

Black soldiers openly talk about whites and make racist comments. A person very close to me was called a racist because she doesn't date black guys, and they made fun of her because she liked "crackers". They openly sit and talk about this, in the open, and when it is reported nothing happens. However, if a white NCO makes the mistake of mentioning fried chicken or says he has no reason to attend the Black History month dinner- or even tells someone that after the civil war Abe Lincoln intended to send the slaves back to Africa (I don't know if it's true, don't ask)- he is in trouble. And has to give a class to the entire unit. It was openly said by a high-ranking black NCO that "blacks can say whatever they want after what the white man did". In public.

So now it's all wrapping up. I've witnessed a bunch of this shit, and have no problem reporting it- I don't report hearsay, and I don't make shit up.

But the problem comes after all of this. My ladyfriend and I were watching television at her apartment one morning last week, when one of the black NCO's she reported shows up in her house. Demanding she open the door. She had to put a military no-contact order on him. And it's not an isolated incident. More threats toward soldiers. NCO's pulling soldiers into the office and asking things like "are you sure you want to do this", and "what would you do if someone destroyed your career".

Then there's the "Obama" chant shit. I haven't figured it out.

It's annoying as fuck, stupid, and there's no good end that can come out of this. Why? This day and age, it's the white man and his diabolical schemes. We're persecuting black soldiers. We're jealous of their success.

And that's it. It's irritating, and it's going to boil over.
 
that obama chat is the most annoying thing in the world !

It would happen 20 or 25 times a day in my old school and the teachers couldn't tell them to shut up and pay attention because that would be racist.

god damn I wanna smack a mother fucker now
 
It sucks that's happening there, Hos. Although I can't say it was primarily 'racial' favoritism where I was, there was still favoritism, and people got away with things. It sucked.

I hope things go well, and I also hope that people stop being dumbasses. However, the chance of that happening might be pretty slim.
 
Seen it, dealt with it, not much I can suggest. In my case, they tryed to fuck with the wrong people. Wrote a forest of nasty shit on a guy as he was going up the chain, the catch: the motherfucker never cussed. CO had a hard time believing he was that fucked up.

Shit went downhill from there. The thing is, you have to go higher. If the right people find out about it, the shit will hit the fan. It will turn in to a ballbuster bash, but when the dust setteles, your base will be better off. IF you do something.
 
Request Mast as high as you have to go until someone listens. Start building your case, have the whites or other people being bullied carry a tape recorder. Also, if it gets too serious, contact CID and have them embed someone.

There is tons of stuff you can do bro... you just have to remain one step ahead.
 
It is, actually. Lincoln was in support of the ACS and the original purpose of Liberia, but he decided against it due to lack of popular support (from both blacks and whites) and the sheer difficulty of the task.

And that's some bullshit, man. Any chance you can take it higher up, or is it just not worth it?
 
HOS you have my full support in this matter. I have lived very near base and stayed on that base for about 6 months. I have seen first hand wtf your talking about. It is NOT racist to tell the truth of things. It is the same way at the Brunswick GA. Job Corps.

That shit actually happens every fucking where! I would expect better from solders but then again solders are people too :rolleyes:
 
Hos even back in my day, it was the same way. I saw it over and over then, and it wasn't just blacks, it was the latinos, in my battery. They would line up the "whities" and have us all clean the trucks while they smiled and sometimes jeered us. Oh yes, sorry man, it does sound like it's even worse there. Unreal.

Yeah it is gonna HAVE to boil over. It's fucking amazing that it's beat into our heads to treat everyone equal, and not see difference, and then when racism is all over you, people just roll their eyes.

Fuckin' whitie, you deserve it.

No I don't!!!!! Fuck that. I'm not prejudice in any way, except against stupid people. I hate those fuckers.

Hos, back in my day I was known as "Big C" on base by all the black fella's and they all had my back when new blacks came on and tried the usual shit with me. Because of this...

When I first got to Germany, I was walking back to base on a side street, and there was a group of obviously American Soldiers, White, who were beating up someone and yelling the N word and various other things. So I moved closer and saw, sure enough, there were 5 guys beating up a black guy.

So I do my best running kick into the back of one of them, and let me tell you, he didn't get back up, he hit a wall. Then the other 4 start pummeling me, I got in a few good whacks, but they were Marines I come to find out, and mean ones. So I start to lose, not afraid to admit it, and then I see a bunch of guys who show up and beat the fuck out of the those assholes. A whole big ass crew of home boys.

You see, they had their own bar just down the street I didn't know about, because it was black only, except for all the fine white german girls. So they came out in force, and well... they sorta adopted me. And word spread, and I tell you what for real, I never EVER had another problem with any black guys in Germany. I could even go into the all black bars in other cities in Germany, that's how much of a network they had even 20 years ago.

So, I understand what you're talking about, and funny enough, maybe Obama can bring this much needed change. Because it wouldn't be racist for him to attack the racists doing those things! Holy shit, I hope someone presents that idea to him. For real.

I don't know what to say Hos. I offer the advice to be true to yourself, and fuck the rest. It's better to die a martyr for the cause, than to live like a sheep.
